I'm not a visual artist, but if I get better as a photographer using this thing, I'll be thrilled.

Writing is what I do. I have written some poetry:

- "Enfolding"
- "Haiku that might as well have been purchased at Walmart"

But the majority of my writings has been criticism and analysis:

- On Emily Dickinson's "Our share of night to bear..."
- On the Gettysburg Address
- On "Batman Begins"

If you like what I write - or if you're particularly pleased with my comments on your work, tell me on the blog or here, and do consider bookmarking or subscribing to my blog (not the DA, although I welcome attention here too). I'm thrilled to be a part of DA: many of you have incredible work and I'm looking for the right words to express my delight with it.

sorry, I've got a lot of work and no time for DA. I have to learn for a lot of tests which aren't easy, not to mention I'm sick so when I have some free time all I do is sleep. Still everything's rather ok I suppose. What about you?

It's just good to hear from you - hope you feel better soon, and fingers are crossed that studying goes well. A war correspondent of some fame says that experienced soldiers take every chance they can get to sleep. I can only remember and operate well with a proper amount of sleep myself, for the limited work I do.

Things here are okay: it's gotten a lot colder and I don't get out much. Reading the usual: Xenophon and Plato, trying to get a grip on what Socrates' life meant to them. I enjoy the work but it goes over my head frequently.

Don't know if you'll like this, it's a live recording of Rilo Kiley's "I Never:" [link] Again, hope you feel better soon and thanks for the update!

I just linked to "katja is" from my blog, too - I think a few of my readers would like it. It's the last link on this page: [link]

oh my goodness, thank you kindly, that is so sweet what you have written, it helps so much to read and hear other people's opinions when you get so caught up in experimenting with a new style.
